[CA] [CA11] P79 transducer to Axom 7 DV problems

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Iian,

The technician which whom you last spoke may be correct. As indicated within the FAQ found here, the transducer product name (ex. B319 B260, B744V, P66, P79, etc.) identifies a family of transducers rather than a single transducer, each of which is designed for a specific manufacturer and fishfinder or instrument product offered by that manufacturer. As such, the transducer's product ID(s) should be used in determining compatibility / adaptability of the transducer for use with Raymarine's fishfinding products. Accordingly, should you attach a photo of the transducer's tag which clearly shows all information printed on the tag then we may be able to positively identify the model of P79 transducer owned and if/how it may be adapted for use with your Axiom 7 DV MFD. The Axiom 7 DV MFDs may be used with the DownVision or CPT-S transducers found here. These transducers may simply be plugged into the Axiom 7 DV MFD's Transducer socket. The Axiom 7 DV MFDs may also be adapted for simultaneous use with a DownVision or CPT-S transducer and a compatible 50kHz/200kHz transducer. The latter is often desired to improve bottom tracking performance while the vessel is operating at planing speeds.
